Thought I would put this here given The_Wookie likes to separate revenue and expenditure items by category and its been pointed out that WCE and Freo do their corporate revenue breakdown more comprehensive than others so the basic figure from their accounts isn't a true apples with apples comparison.

This was an article in Today's West about Freo breaking their previous membership record.

Fremantle chief executive Steve Rosich believes the club is set to defy its on-field struggles and post a profit for the 2018 season after setting a membership record. The Dockers had 55,121 members as of yesterday. “That is not only a record for the club and the first time we have gone past 55,000, it is in line with what we forecast for the 2018 season,” Rosich said.

I think you need to read their official accounts lodged at ASIC which The_Wookie has linked in this thread that says $7.023m is development funding of that is part of the $10m the feds and $10m the state government have granted to them for their Lathlain Park development. Expect at least another $10m to be in the 2018 accounts, I'm not sure where the $1.8m development funding was in 2015 so the WCE will have a bottom line comprehensive profit of $15m in 2018.

Honestly they seem to take a fixed amount each year (3-4 million). If WCE have a consistant trend of higher revenue/profit I have no doubt WAFL will increase their take. Which honestly I don't have a problem with.
